Description
Claims (2)
- A device for expanding a pipe, which device comprises a bi-conical sleeve (3) having a first section (5) widening from one end (6) of the bi-conical sleeve (3) to the middle and a second section (11) widening from the opposite end (12) of the bi-conical sleeve to the middle (10), which sections (5, 6) are provided with at least two longitudinal guide channels (20) which guide channels in the second section are staggered in relation to the guide channels in the first section, characterised by a set of first wedges (25), wherein each first wedge tapers into the direction in which the first section widens and is provided with a support element (26) that co-operates with the corresponding longitudinal guide channel of the first section, a set of second wedges (30), wherein each second wedge tapers into the direction in which the second section widens and is provided with a support element (31) that co-operates with the corresponding longitudinal guide channel of the second section, and means for moving the sets of wedges into each other.
- Device according to claim 1, wherein the sections are provided with between two and eight longitudinal guide channels.
